Posted by gci1000 on December 6, 2007, 10:57 am Please log in for more thread options I have installed MSPOS (Microsoft Point Of Sale) on 2 separate stations in my store. However, I need help to understand how to connect the 2 computers together so that the register in the store is able to see the database which is setup in the office computer. Are there any settings or configuration which I need to do inside MSPOS ? Thanks for the help. -- GCI Posted by Ryan @ RITE on December 6, 2007, 10:54 am Please log in for more thread options The first big question is, are both stations Windows XP Pro or Vista Business or higher? MSPOS requires the "Network Aware" functionality that is not included with XP Home or Vista Home. -- Thank you, Ryan Sakry Program Manager Retail Information Technology Enterprises (RITE) rsakry@rite.us http://www.rite.us 320-230-2282 ext. 4002 (Office) 320-230-1796 (Fax) >I have installed MSPOS (Microsoft Point Of Sale) on 2 separate stations in >my > store.

You'll have to forgive me for not remembering specifics, as I have not implemented POS personally in some time, but I'm certain other on this forum will be able to assist. -- Thank you, Ryan Sakry Program Manager Retail Information Technology Enterprises (RITE) rsakry@rite.us http://www.rite.us 320-230-2282 ext. 4002 (Office) 320-230-1796 (Fax) > Both are windows xp pro. > Thanks. > -- > GCI > > > "Ryan @ RITE" wrote: > >> The first big question is, are both stations Windows XP Pro or Vista >> Business or higher?
